@RMFifthCircuit @LeahLitman I'm a dutch baby: delicious, puffed up, full of hot air, and easily deflated.

I mean, good, that's a win for free speech. But if your church suddenly gets very political that's a red flag, tbh.
NEW TONIGHT: @IRS says that churches can now endorse candidates from the pulpit, carving out an exemption to a decades-old ban on politicking by tax-exempt nonprofits.

an odd thing to say for somebody who calls herself a Christian. the idea of God becoming man is kind of the whole Christian story.
God is God alone, and there is only one God. man is not God.

I also had to give the bishopric message to the primary this morning. Sacrament meeting got the staid version, but primary got a Joey Chestnut reference.

We ended up having a good, uplifting meeting. We sang "My Country, 'tis of Thee," but nobody really said anything political.

Bishop was out of town today so it fell to me to preside. I had planned to give a testimony about the constitution but the spirit had other plans. I ended up speaking about the diversity of spiritual gifts and about how faith comes from quiet, daily devotion.

that's literally what it is.
Did Hakeem Jeffries just say the Declaration of Independence reads like an INDICTMENT? . Did I hear that right?.

Is it that's he's not taking about patriotism for any worldly country, but patriotism for the kingdom of God?.

What do you think? How do these teachings relate to patriotism?.

But I have never associated them with patriotism. It's that what he's saying? How are these teachings part of the concept of patriotism? . He seems to have a vision of patriotism that is very different from the narrow jingoism that prevails in some places.

President Kimball here sort of seems to be saying that "true patriotism" includes loving your enemies, blessing those who curse you, doing good to those that hate you and praying for those who practice you and year you with spite. Those are all important teachings of Christ,.

'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven' (Matthew 5:44-45).".
